Glide skis replace the rubber tips entirely and have a ski-shaped profile that sits flat on the floor, providing a larger, more stable gliding surface. Skis generally provide a smoother, more consistent glide than covers and are less likely to catch on floor transitions or grout lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I install the glide skis?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemove the existing rubber tips from the rear legs of your walker by pulling them straight off — grip firmly and twist if they are stuck. Press each glide ski firmly onto the rear leg shaft until it seats fully and does not wobble. The skis are sized for 1-inch walker tubing — confirm your walker has 1-inch diameter rear legs before installing. No tools are required. Check that both skis are fully seated and secure before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo glide skis work on carpet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlide skis are designed primarily for smooth indoor surfaces such as hardwood, tile, laminate, and vinyl. On low-pile carpet they may still reduce some friction, but the gliding benefit is less pronounced than on hard floors. For carpeted environments, standard rubber tips or tennis ball-style glides are generally more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill these fit my walker?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese glide skis are designed to fit all 1-inch folding walkers and are compatible with most leading manufacturers. If you are unsure of your walker's tubing diameter, measure the outer diameter of the rear leg at the tip end — it should be approximately 1 inch for these skis to fit correctly. If your walker uses non-standard tubing, check the glide cover (SKU 1085B) as an alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drive Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388496031798,"sku":"1085C","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/drive-medical-walker-accessories-default-title-drive-medical-walker-glide-skis-1-pair-white-fits-1-inch-folding-walkers-23631743844406.jpg?v=1788637477","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/products\/drive-medical-walker-glide-skis-1-pair-white-fits-1-inch-folding-walkers","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
